Parents all want their children to grow up quickly. Do you have such [little adults] in your family?
Clearly, he is a child, but he speaks in a masterful way and always does things with an adult style, which makes people laugh.
The baby was a little unhappy. You asked him what was going on. The child actually said calmly, “I want to be alone.”
You, question mark three company? ? ?
You were in a hurry to go to work, but TA caught up with you with a piggy bank, pulled your skirt and said:
[Mom, Mom, don’t go to work today, I can pay you.]
It is lovely for children to behave like this [little adult], but do you know:
It is a disaster for the body to become [a little adult] ahead of time!
Is what’s body becoming [a little adult] ahead of time?
When the child suddenly grows taller too early and even has secondary sexual characteristics: the boy starts to have thick voice, the lower body grows pubic hair, and the girl’s chest bulges are all body [small adults] signals that cannot be ignored!
However, the early transformation of children’s bodies into [small adults] and [central precocious puberty] cannot be separated from each other.
[Central precocious puberty] is also called true precocious puberty, which means that the child’s physical development is consistent with the normal puberty development sequence, but the age is earlier.
In medicine, it is generally believed that the development of girls before the age of 8 and boys before the age of 9 is [precocious puberty].
According to survey data, the incidence rate of children in China in 2017 is about 3%, much higher than the 1% five years ago. That is, 3 out of 100 children now face [precocious puberty].
Children are all raised in the same way. Why do my children have precocious puberty? Let’s listen to what experts say!
The real cause of precocious puberty
1. Excess nutrition-[shortcut key] for development
Still letting the children eat sea plug?
You may have unconsciously pressed the [fast forward key] for TA’s development!
Obesity caused by overnutrition is likely to push your child to the [tiger’s mouth] of precocious puberty.
2. Social environment [unsuitable for children]
In the Internet age, our life is inevitably filled with [unsuitable for children] literature, film and television works.
Curious children are easily led astray…
Parents’ sex education is put on the agenda, so that children can have comprehensive sex knowledge, so as to resist the negative influence of bad information!
What are the hazards of becoming a “little adult” in advance?
1. Affect adult height
Generally, children with precocious puberty cannot reach the expected adult height.
Due to premature sexual development, under the action of sex hormones, the height increases rapidly, but at the same time, it promotes the premature fusion of epiphysis. After the epiphysis line is closed, the space for height growth basically disappears.
Therefore, the growth cycle of children with precocious puberty will be obviously shortened, and eventually their adult height will be shorter than that of the average person.
Mom should pay attention, the earlier precocious puberty is treated, the less height will be affected!
2. [Mom, why am I different from others? ], psychological problems don’t ignore
Children with precocious puberty are easily laughed at and isolated by other unwitting children because their bodies change early.
Isolated pain and self-doubt easily make children feel inferior and even depressed.
At such times, his favorite parents remember to pay more attention to the psychological changes of their children and help TA open the knot in his heart.
3. Be careful of the problems behind precocious puberty.
Many parents may turn a blind eye to precocious puberty and think that their children only come a little earlier in puberty.
However, most of the time precocious puberty may only be a smoke bomb, and the diseases that lead to abnormal sex hormone secretion and precocious puberty are the real [killers].
Behind precocious puberty, there may be diseases such as central nervous system abnormalities, such as tumors, infections and injuries. In addition, diseases such as hypothyroidism and kidney function may also lead to secondary precocious puberty in children.
Really precocious puberty, also don’t panic early treatment can be cured
At present, [gonadotropin releasing hormone analogues] are widely used in the treatment of central precocious puberty at home and abroad.
Central precocious puberty can be cured by medical means. After the sex hormone content in the blood is reduced to normal value, the expected target height can be reached by insisting on treatment without complete closure of epiphyseal line.
For girls less than 6 years old, GnRHa has obvious improvement in height, with a maximum increase of 9 ~ 10 cm, which has certain therapeutic effect.
For girls over 6 years old, GNRHa is a very [proud] drug, which requires a high dose and is best used strictly according to the doctor’s advice.
Too large a dose may delay the growth rate of children, and a proper reduction in the injection dose may also bring the risk of recurrence of precocious diseases.
There are also clinical studies that have found that leuprorelin therapy combined with planned aerobic exercise can enable children over 8 years old to reach or even exceed the predicted adult height. Of course, the earlier and longer the treatment is found, the more obvious the benefits of physical increase will be.
If your child is under the age of 8 or 9, you must pay close attention to the baby’s physical development at any time, and find and treat it as early as possible.
How to find signs of precocious puberty? The following three points make precocious puberty nowhere to hide!
1. Pay attention to children’s physical changes!
If your baby suddenly grows taller or gains weight rapidly in a short period of time, it is better to take the child to the hospital for examination. Usually, the doctor will use MRI to judge whether the child has hypothalamic lesions.
2. Regular bone age test, the first time to find signs
It is a good choice to take children to have professional bone tests regularly.
Children can be examined once a year when they are 6 years old and later. If signs of precocity are found, timely treatment, diet conditioning and other interventions should be carried out according to the diagnosis results and doctor’s advice.
Don’t be a physical [little adult] in advance, enjoy childhood and grow up to be an adult without worry.
